Pet-sitting provides extra income, as well as a place to shower, cook, etc.

I found a beautiful little wood stove. It was a splurge, but so worth it. I traveled to an off-grid dream place on Guemes Island for it. The owner was kind enough to give my friend and me a complete tour, explaining their water catchment, solar and composting systems. Inspiring and informative towards my own goals. -Oh, and he even let me ride George the giraffe! Be patient; I’ll show the stove when it’s all set up 🙂

I finished scrubbing all of the scummy growth off her, and now I’ve got her completely covered in an armor of grey primer. Incognito.

I framed out and created a platform over the wheel well where the stove is gonna go. Tiled it yesterday. Lunch break at the Co-op is over, and it’s time to go back and grout it. I’ll be looking for help to place the super heavy cast iron stove and figure out stove piping.
